BP Dev Chat Summary: March 25th, 2020

BuddyPress Survey

@mercime has prepared 17 questions for the survey. She asked about the possible GraphQL question @espellcaste suggested to add during our previous dev-chat. If Renato has ideas about it, she will be able to insert it. About the survey publication date, @im4th suggested to add a link inside the “Hello BuddyPress 6.0.0” screen. @mercime was thinking about publishing it earlier to be able to close it before 6.0.0 release. @mercime will decide what’s the best option.

Progress about 6.0.0 release

@im4th reminded the dev-chat participants, the beta was scheduled 6 days later (at this time, today at the time I’m writing this summary!). He asked if a ticket or a feature needed an extra delay to be fixed : it wasn’t the case.

@mercime and @dcavins said they will give a test to the new BuddyPress blocks that had just been added to BuddyPress core (See #8048).

@im4th shared he still needed to work on the inclusion of the BP REST API remaining endpoints into BuddyPress 6.0.0. #7156 has been committed since.

BP REST API documentation update.

Once BuddyPress 6.0.0-beta1 will be released, we’ll need to update the BP REST API reference so that the new endpoints are documented before 6.0.0 stable release.

@mercime & @dcavins volunteered to give a hand 😍. @im4th will write some explanations about how to update the documentation on the https://developer.buddypress.org site.

6.0.0 schedule & main features

  • Schedule:
    • First beta in a few hours!
    • Final release at the end of April.
  • Main Features:
    • BP REST API remaining endpoints ✅
    • BP Blocks ✅

Next dev chat

It will happen on April 8 at 19:00 UTC (a few days before first beta 🙄) and of course in #BuddyPress. If you have ideas or questions, feel free (and we are strongly encouraging you) to comment this summary to share them!
